Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 box brownie mix (around 18.4 oz)
  • Ingredients required for brownie mix as per package (typically eggs, water, and vegetable oil)

Festive Toppings

  • Colored icing (orange, black, green)
  • Edible Halloween-themed sprinkles (pumpkins, ghosts, bats)
  • Mini candy corn pieces
  • Chocolate chips or candy eyes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Batter: Follow the instructions on your brownie mix box to prepare the batter, typically combining the brownie mix with eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  2. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  3. Cool Completely: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before decorating. This ensures the toppings will adhere properly and prevents melting.
  4. Decorate: Using colored icing, frost the brownies and create Halloween-themed designs like spider webs, pumpkins, or ghosts. Sprinkle edible Halloween decorations, mini candy corn, chocolate chips, or candy eyes on top for a festive look.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Cut brownies into squares and serve at your Halloween party or event.

Notes

  • You can substitute homemade brownie batter if preferred.
  • Use gluten-free brownie mix for a gluten-free version.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For extra texture, add chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the batter before baking.
  • Be creative with toppings—marshmallows, crushed cookies, or colored sugar work great too.
